Feature request: "needs maps?"
Posted: Thu Jul 10, 2025 8:56 pm
I was thinking about this as a way to help direct people to what to contribute.
I know there's a "needs solution" box when searching, and it'd maybe be neat to have a "needs map" box too. Of course this hopes up a whole can of coding worms! Some entries might not need maps, so we might need a boolean needs_map flag that I'd assume would default to True.
No problem if it's a bridge or two too far ... I just know when I looked through games I played or knew, I saw a few that didn't have maps, but I'd have liked to write them.
This also feels like it might be something directed towards relatively few and thus more energy for the site owners/programmers than it was worth, but I wanted to throw it out there just in case.
